How to compile your very own Devcoin Wallet in Ubuntu 18.04 💪 💻 💾

Started a fresh install and after Step 7 received the following errors:

Although it did not seem likely to be successful the attempt at the GUI compile was attempted and the following error was returned...

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:525: recipe for target 'devcoin-qt' failed
make: *** [devcoin-qt] Error 1

During compilations a lot more errors were noticed in the course of the compiling than were remembered from previous compiles.

When is the last time that you have done a compile from scratch, @cpol? The code itself is beginning to come into question for me.

I've done another compile and everything went fine from my end. I always remove the old core directory and download the new code from github. I'm going to set up a virtual machine myself and check if I can reproduce those problems in there.

Hmm... "ld" is the symbolic linker.

@novacadian how can I help?

Not at this point thanks. Just your patience in me getting you your 10k of DVC is enough for now. ;)

Thanks. Perhaps my .devcoin directory has to go as well or something.

Unfortunately I couldn't reproduce your specific problem @novacadian. It compiled the system without problems.

What I did was that I downloaded Kubuntu's iso image version 18.04.3 LTS 64 bits from https://kubuntu.org/getkubuntu/ I set up the virtual machine in vitual box and then I installed the OS using that iso and updated everything to the latest packages.

Finally, I followed the guide until it finished and I ran the compiled wallet as you can see in the picture.

I don't know what could be happening to you or why is that happening to you. I remember, however, that something similar happened to me when I tried to compile it in my old machine and it had a lot of dependency problems. I wish I could help you more nova, I'm so sorry 🤔 😢

I tried building this wallet on a windows version of Ubuntu recently just to see if it worked and no dice. There's proprietary Windows OS running Devcoin - Wallets using QT just like there are Linux wallets that began compiling and running GUI Bitcoin versions when the first bitcoin.exe ran for Windows 7 or 8 I believe.

Well, I have to check it out, because I've never tried it the way you do it, I mean, I've been compiling it in Linux Mint, Kubuntu and Ubuntu versions running it on fresh installations and in virtual box without problems. Let me see if I can replicate the problem.
